My tinnitus is older than ICE.

See? If I simply *accurately describe* their behavior, I sound like an insane person. Anyway, here's the story www.thefp.com/p/exclusive-...

"Gavin Newsom's awesome" is a really weird hill to die on.

The thing is, richer people a) skew conservative and b) live longer. That's where that "you'll get more conservative as you get older" things comes from.

The current wave of "how very dare you say Gavin Newsom isn't perfect" randos is not giving me vibes of authenticity.

Instead of explaining to people how to protest, let’s all make posts calling on the US govt to keep things peaceful and to stop trying to escalate things.

IT IS ALWAYS BROMP O'CLOCK

"Oh you wanted a riot? Tough luck. You get to stand around looking like the absolute assclowns you're working for." I love LA.

Discworld QOTD, from Night Watch

LAPD said in the summer of 2020 that they can handle one large protest of 10k but they cannot handle ten protests of 1k. Do with that information accordingly

The California legislature and city & county governments should file injunctions and draft emergency legislation prohibiting the quartering of now-federalized troops on private property including hotels under the Third Amendment. Make the Guard bivouac on the ground on federal property.

This is the only meme you need.

It do be like that right now.

Los Angeles: if you get tear gas or see other people who have been and someone calling themselves a medic tries to use milk to wash their eyes out SLAP THAT MILK JUG OUT THEIR FUCKING HAND. MILK DOES NOT WASH OUT TEAR GAS. Just use bottled water please.

The world is a goddamn shit show today. So here's Grizzly's pro tips* on how to deal with heat. 1 sploot on marble tile 2 dive into the freezer** *absolutely don't listen to Grizzly, he is a cat and not a professional. ** again, don't listen to Grizzly. Absolutely do not do this.

Do we have any volcanoes handy to throw Gavin Newsom into, or are we launching him into the sun as well?

I absolutely fucking LOVE this series. It's one of those ones where people will recommend not going in publication order, but I did, mostly. I think I'll go grab my copy of Consider Phlebas and read it again.

Ok bsky, I need distributed research assistance. I'm looking for evidence of the existence of a book entitled THE ORIGINS OF TREE WORSHIP, author unknown, circa 1888. I don't need a copy, I just want any evidence it exists. Please repost for more spread, and read downthread for details.

The Times is a big paper. There are many thoughtful writers there doing really good work. Unfortunately most of your subscription goes to paying for the people who soft-focus nazi pedophiles or write op-eds titled “I Personally Respect Trans People, Just A Little Less Than Dogs.” Cancel your sub

You look at this and you can understand why mid-century recipe books have become a form of experimental archeology. The morbid curiosity of what this would taste like…
